Danger Will Robinson!!!

I used to love watching lost in space. It began with the Robinson family setting out on a mission to colonize Alpha Centauri, but the villain of the show Dr. Zachary Smith sabotaged the mission by reprogramming the robot to destroy the crew and they became hopelessly lost. The robot was subsequently reprogrammed to become the crew’s protector. Then the Robinsons traveled the cosmos, crashing on planet after planet, forever lost, while the villainous bumbling Dr. Smith continually squashed their hopes of reaching Alpha Centauri or earth through his self serving betrayals. Often times when one of Dr. Smiths evil schemes put the family at risk, ‘Robot’ would flail his arms and warn the Robinsons of the impending doom, and every time the situation seemed hopeless for Will Robinson and his family the robot would come to the rescue and save the day.

In some ways life is similar. Adam was created, and in a sense his mission was to colonize earth. But Satan sabotaged the mission and we became hopelessly lost. We then traveled the centuries falling further and further away from God. Every time it seemed there was hope Satan squashed the plan so he could serve his selfish purpose. But in trying to squash the main plan of rescue he actually ended up being the facilitator for the making of our savior and protector. Now, our protector warns us when one of Satan’s plans is putting us at risk, and just when it looks like we are going to be overcome by Satan our protector comes to the rescue and saves the day.

The Robot has been waving his arms frantically and crying; "Danger, Warning people of earth", for the last few years, but no one is paying attention. We are being overwhelmed at every turn and are losing ground fast. Our protector is coming to the rescue, but this time I think the rescue will have more of a final outcome than most are expecting.

They never made a final episode where the Robinsons were rescued or finally made it home. And that is where the similarity ends… because we do have a final episode to run. And in our final episode the bad guy’s reign of terror ends and we finally do get to go home.

Alpha Centauri here we come…
